Abstract
Thermodynamic modeling of the Sm2O3-SiO2, Yb2O3-SiO2, and Lu2O3-SiO2 is part of a broader effort of developing thermodynamic databases for rare earth silicates systems, providing critical insights for designing environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) for gas turbine engines. This study aims to derive a set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters for Sm2O3-SiO2, Yb2O3-SiO2, and Lu2O3-SiO2 systems. The ionic two-sublattice model was adopted to describe the liquid phase, and all binary phases were treated as stoichiometric compounds given their negligible solubility. The CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) method was employed to carry out thermodynamic optimization on these binary systems, with the aid of existing experimental phase diagram data and thermodynamic properties. By comprehensively comparing experimental results with our calculations, it can be found that the calculated phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties align well with existing experimental data. This confirms the reasonableness of our thermodynamic descriptions, which can further provide a reliable foundation for thermodynamic calculations in higher-order systems based on RE2O3-SiO2 systems.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
